any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread

if your idle is low and your car wont stay running, put it on some blocks, when you start it and it runs with the wheels spinning, and then you put it on the ground and the wheels stop and the engine cuts (this is with low good idle) then the clutch spring probably broke

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread

dude i used to feel the same way, everytime i went out i would run a tank or two and something would break, and then you bet better and better and now i go out everytime and never break one thing. i havent broke anything myself in months. trust me it will get better. you will learn you truck and when something goes wrong you just fix it real quick and your cruisin again

I agree
it's not always that something is broke either, sometimes it just needed to be tweeked, like bent drive shafts, just use a hammer and straighten them out. The reason stuff breaks is driver mistakes, and incorrect maintenance, the more experienced you get the less stuff you break.

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
